Detailed Description
Specific embodiments of a pixel compensation method, a pixel compensation device and a display device according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
To illustrate, in the embodiment of the present invention, the duty ratio of the brightness of the dimming region may be understood as: the ratio of the current brightness of the dimming area to the brightness of the dimming area reaching the maximum value can also be understood as the brightness ratio of the dimming area, and therefore, the duty ratio of the brightness of the dimming area and the brightness ratio of the dimming area represent the same meaning and can be used interchangeably.
The inventor finds out in research that, as shown in fig. 1, the liquid crystal display includes: as shown in the structural schematic diagram of the backlight module 20 shown in fig. 2, the backlight module 20 may include a light-emitting substrate 21, a plurality of light-emitting elements (e.g., LEDs) 22 arranged in an array are disposed on the light-emitting substrate 21, the light-emitting elements 22 on the light-emitting substrate 21 are divided into regions to obtain a plurality of dimming regions 23, and the light-emitting luminances of different dimming regions 23 may be independently controlled according to a picture to be displayed.
Of course, the light adjusting regions 23 may be set to have different sizes, as shown in fig. 2, the sizes of the light adjusting regions 23 may be the same, and the setting is not limited herein and may be performed according to actual needs.
Moreover, the liquid crystal display panel can perform certain brightness compensation on each pixel according to the brightness of different dimming areas in the backlight module so as to ensure the final display brightness.
When performing brightness compensation on each pixel, a linear compensation method can be generally adopted, and the specific compensation principle is as follows:
assuming that all the light emitting elements in the light emitting substrate in the backlight module are turned on and the Local Dimming areas are not dimmed, this situation can be understood as that the LD (Local Dimming) algorithm is turned off, and at this time, the display brightness of the liquid crystal display perceived by human eyes is the first brightness, which is denoted by Lv _ off.
Assuming that the LD algorithm is turned on when performing the local dimming on each dimming area in the backlight module, the display brightness of the liquid crystal display sensed by human eyes is the second brightness, which is denoted by Lv _ on.
Wherein, Gray _ off and Gray _ on respectively represent Gray levels displayed on the corresponding liquid crystal display panel before and after each dimming area in the backlight module performs local dimming, and PWM _ off and PWM _ on respectively represent duty ratios of the brightness of the corresponding dimming area when the LD algorithm is turned off and on.
If the bit width of 8-bit pixel is taken as an example, but not limited to this, according to the pixel compensation principle, the display brightness of the lcd perceived by human eyes before and after the LD algorithm is turned OFF and ON should be the same, so Lv _ OFF is Lv _ ON, that is:
PWM_off×(Gray_off/255)K＝PWM_on×(Gray_on/255)K；
in general, PWM _ off may be 100%, and in this case, the gray level compensation formula of the pixel can be obtained as follows:
Gray_on＝[1/(PWM_on)1/K]×Gray_off；
therefore, the smaller the PWM _ on, i.e. the smaller the duty ratio of the brightness of the dimming area, the larger the gray scale compensation coefficient, wherein K is expressed as described below, and a specific gray scale compensation coefficient curve is shown in fig. 3, where the abscissa represents the duty ratio of the brightness of the dimming area and the ordinate represents the gray scale compensation coefficient.
As the duty ratio is smaller, the brightness of the dimming area is smaller, that is, the corresponding dimming area is a dark area, so as shown in fig. 3, it can be known that the gray scale compensation coefficient of the dark area is larger, and thus, originally low-brightness noise which is not easy to perceive is easily amplified, an overcompensation phenomenon occurs, which causes a reduction in display contrast and a reduction in display effect.
Based on this, in order to improve the display contrast and improve the display effect, the embodiment of the invention provides a pixel compensation method.
Specifically, the pixel compensation method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to a liquid crystal display device, the liquid crystal display device includes a display panel and a backlight module, the display panel is located on a light emitting surface of the backlight module, the display panel includes pixels arranged in an array, and the backlight module includes a plurality of light modulation regions, wherein a structural schematic diagram of the liquid crystal display device may be as shown in but not limited to fig. 1, and a structural schematic diagram of the backlight module may be as shown in but not limited to fig. 2, which is not described in detail herein.
Referring to fig. 4, the method may include:
s401, obtaining an image to be displayed, and determining the brightness of each dimming area according to the image to be displayed;
s402, according to the position corresponding relation between each pixel and each dimming area, determining a pixel corresponding to the dimming area not less than the preset brightness as a first pixel, determining a pixel corresponding to the dimming area less than the preset brightness as a second pixel, compensating the gray scale of the first pixel according to a first preset brightness gray scale function, and compensating the gray scale of the second pixel according to a second preset brightness gray scale function; the second preset luminance gray scale function may be: and a tangent equation corresponding to the preset brightness of the first preset brightness gray scale function.
In the embodiment of the present invention, by using the pixel compensation method, the second pixel corresponding to the dimming region with low brightness and other pixels (such as the first pixel) are compensated in different manners, so that the problems of dark-area noise amplification and overcompensation caused by performing compensation in the same compensation manner on each pixel in the prior art are solved, and meanwhile, the non-dark area can be ensured to have higher brightness, thereby improving the display contrast and improving the display effect.
For example, as shown in fig. 5, the diagram labeled (a) shows an effect diagram before pixel compensation, the diagram labeled (b) shows an effect diagram after compensation by using a pixel compensation method in the prior art, and the diagram labeled (c) shows an effect diagram after compensation by using a pixel compensation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
It is obvious that after the pixel compensation method in the prior art is adopted for compensation, the dark area has larger noise, wherein, as shown in (b) in fig. 5, the brighter content displayed in the area indicated by the dashed line box can be regarded as noise, i.e. low-brightness noise which is not easy to be perceived originally is displayed. After the pixel compensation method provided by the embodiment of the invention is adopted for compensation, a bright area has higher brightness, and dark area amplification noise can be avoided, namely, noise in a dotted line frame in (c) in fig. 5 is eliminated, so that the brightness in the dotted line frame is darker, a displayed image has higher contrast, and an excellent display effect is achieved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, there is a certain relationship between the first preset luminance gray-scale function and the second preset luminance gray-scale function, that is, the second preset luminance gray-scale function is: the first preset brightness gray scale function is in a tangent equation corresponding to the preset brightness, that is, the second preset brightness gray scale function is not set randomly but set according to the first preset brightness gray scale function, so that when the second pixel is compensated, the compensated effect can reflect the picture corresponding to the dark area more truly, and good transition is provided between the pictures corresponding to the non-dark area, so that the whole display picture is more delicate and natural, and the display effect is greatly improved.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset luminance grayscale function may represent a power function corresponding relationship between the luminance of the dimming region and the grayscale compensation coefficient of the pixel corresponding to the dimming region;
the second preset brightness gray scale function can represent the linear relation between the brightness of the dimming area and the gray scale compensation coefficient of the pixel corresponding to the dimming area.
For example, as shown in fig. 6, a schematic diagram of a relationship between a first preset luminance gray-scale function and a second preset luminance gray-scale function, a solid line 1 represents the first preset luminance gray-scale function, a solid line 2 represents the second preset luminance gray-scale function, and the solid line 2 is a tangent of a curve shown in the solid line 1 at a point X0.
The ordinate represents a gray scale compensation coefficient of the pixel, the abscissa represents a duty ratio of the brightness of the dimming area, the smaller the numerical value of the abscissa, the smaller the duty ratio of the brightness of the dimming area, that is, the darker the brightness of the dimming area, the dark area is represented, and the larger the numerical value of the abscissa, the larger the duty ratio of the brightness of the dimming area is, that is, the brighter the brightness of the dimming area, the bright area is represented. As shown in fig. 6, a dimming region corresponding to a dimming region having a luminance duty ratio smaller than X0 may be referred to as a dark region, and a dimming region corresponding to a dimming region having a luminance duty ratio greater than or equal to X0 may be referred to as a bright region.
The larger the value of the ordinate is, the larger the gray scale compensation coefficient representing the pixel is, and the smaller the value of the ordinate is, the smaller the gray scale compensation coefficient representing the pixel is.
Therefore, as shown in fig. 6, when the pixels corresponding to the dark area are compensated by the solid line 2, the compensation coefficient is small, and the noise of the dark area can be suppressed; when the pixels corresponding to the brightness are compensated by using the solid line 1, it can be ensured that the bright area has higher brightness.
Therefore, amplification of noise in a dark area can be effectively avoided, and meanwhile, the bright area can be kept to have higher brightness, so that the displayed image has higher contrast, and the display effect is greatly improved.
Optionally, in order to compensate the gray scale of the first pixel, in an embodiment of the present invention, the compensating the gray scale of the first pixel according to a first preset luminance gray scale function specifically includes:
determining a gray scale compensation coefficient corresponding to the brightness of the dimming area corresponding to the first pixel according to the following formula:
Y1＝X1 -1/K，X1∈[X0,1]；
X1＝L1/L0；
wherein, Y1A gray scale compensation coefficient, X, corresponding to the brightness of the dimming region corresponding to the first pixel1Indicating the brightness ratio, L, of the dimming area corresponding to the first pixel1Indicating the brightness L of the dimming region corresponding to the first pixel obtained after the dimming region is adjusted according to the image to be displayed by adopting a preset local dimming algorithm0Denotes the maximum luminance in each dimming region when no region dimming is performed, X0The ratio of the preset brightness to the maximum brightness of each dimming area when the dimming area is not subjected to regional dimming is represented, and K represents a constant;
and performing product operation on the gray scale of the first pixel and the determined gray scale compensation coefficient to obtain the gray scale compensated by the first pixel.
In this case, the meaning of K may be understood as a value of gamma voltage, and a relationship between gray scale and brightness indicated by the gamma voltage may be set according to needs and display requirements of the display panel in an actual situation, which is not limited herein.
For example, it is assumed that the backlight module includes 3 dimming regions, which are respectively numbered as dimming region 1, dimming region 2, and dimming region 3, and the description is only given by taking the example of including 3 dimming regions, but in actual cases, the backlight module includes a plurality of dimming regions, which is not limited to 3.
Assuming that the luminance ratio of the dimming area 1 is 0.05, the luminance ratio of the dimming area 2 is 0.3, and the luminance ratio of the dimming area 3 is 0.7, if X0 is set to be 0.24, then the luminance ratio of the dimming area 1 is less than X0, and the luminance ratios of the dimming area 2 and the dimming area 3 are both greater than X0, at this time:
the pixels corresponding to the dimming area 2 are determined as first pixels, and the gray scale compensation coefficient of each first pixel corresponding to the dimming area 2 is as follows: y is1＝0.3-1/KAnd the formula corresponds to the solid line 1, the corresponding gray-scale compensation coefficient Y can be read from the solid line 1 shown in FIG. 61About 1.8.
The pixels corresponding to the dimming area 3 are determined as first pixels, and the gray scale compensation coefficient of each first pixel corresponding to the dimming area 3 is as follows: y is1＝0.71/KAnd the formula corresponds to the solid line 1, the corresponding gray-scale compensation coefficient Y can be read from the solid line 1 shown in FIG. 61About 1.3.
And finally, multiplying the gray scale of each first pixel corresponding to the light adjusting area 2 by 1.8 to obtain a compensated gray scale, and multiplying the gray scale of each first pixel corresponding to the light adjusting area 3 by 1.3 to obtain a compensated gray scale.
Optionally, in order to compensate the gray scale of the second pixel, in an embodiment of the present invention, the compensating the gray scale of the second pixel according to a second preset luminance gray scale function specifically includes:
determining a gray scale compensation coefficient corresponding to the brightness of the dimming area corresponding to the second pixel according to the following formula:
Y2＝a×X2+b，X2∈(0,X0)；
X2＝L2/L0；
a＝(-1/K)×X0 -(1/K+1)；
b＝Y0+1/K×X0 -1/K；
wherein, Y2Representing a second pair of pixelsGray scale compensation coefficient, X, corresponding to the brightness of the dimming area2Indicating the brightness ratio, L, of the dimming region corresponding to the second pixel2A brightness value L representing the brightness value obtained after the dimming region corresponding to the second pixel is subjected to regional dimming according to the image to be displayed by adopting a preset regional dimming algorithm0Denotes the maximum brightness value, X, of each dimming region when no region dimming is performed0Denotes the ratio of the preset brightness to the maximum brightness of each dimming region without regional dimming, Y0Representing the sum of X determined according to a first predetermined luminance gray-scale function0The corresponding value, K, represents a constant.
And performing product operation on the gray scale of the second pixel and the determined gray scale compensation coefficient to obtain the compensated gray scale of the second pixel.
For example, it is still assumed that the backlight module includes 3 dimming regions, which are respectively numbered as dimming region 1, dimming region 2, and dimming region 3. Similarly, assuming that the luminance ratio of dimming region 1 is 0.05, the luminance ratio of dimming region 2 is 0.3, and the luminance ratio of dimming region 3 is 0.7, if X0 is set to 0.24, then the luminance ratio of dimming region 1 is less than X0, and the luminance ratios of dimming region 2 and dimming region 3 are both greater than X0, at this time:
the pixels corresponding to the dimming area 1 are determined as second pixels, and the gray scale compensation coefficient of each second pixel corresponding to the dimming area 1 is as follows: y is2A × 0.05+ b, and the formula corresponds to the solid line 2, the gray-scale compensation coefficient corresponding to 0.05 can be read out from the solid line 2 shown in fig. 6 to be about 2.6.
And finally, multiplying the gray scale of each second pixel corresponding to the dimming area 1 by 2.6 to obtain the compensated gray scale.
Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset brightness may be determined according to the brightness of the dimming area and the gray scale of each pixel.
This is due to:
on one hand, the LD algorithm may determine the backlight brightness of each dimming region according to the display content of the corresponding pixel of the dimming region, and since the dimming regions are not completely isolated, the backlight brightness of a single dimming region may be affected by the backlight diffusion of the peripheral dimming regions. For a certain pixel corresponding to the dimming region, the backlight brightness of the dimming region where the pixel is located is theoretically the effect of diffusion and superposition of the backlight of each dimming region. Therefore, when the LD algorithm is used for pixel compensation, the influence of the backlight diffusion needs to be considered, and a preset algorithm (which may be any algorithm capable of accurately estimating the brightness, but is not limited herein) is used to estimate the backlight brightness of the dimming area where a certain pixel is located, and the accuracy of the estimation directly affects the effect of pixel compensation.
According to the theoretical compensation curve (as shown in a solid line 1 in fig. 6), the lower the duty ratio of the luminance of the dimming area where the pixel is located, the larger the slope thereof, the more sensitive to the luminance change, and if the backlight luminance estimation of the dimming area with the smaller duty ratio of the luminance is slightly inaccurate, the larger deviation of the compensation coefficient occurs, which causes the overcompensation problem.
Therefore, the duty ratio X0 of the brightness corresponding to the preset brightness is selected depending on the accuracy of the backlight brightness estimation of the dimming area where the pixel is located, and should satisfy: when the duty ratio of the brightness is larger than X0, the accuracy of backlight brightness estimation is high, and the influence on the compensation coefficient is small.
On the other hand, in order to improve the display contrast, it is necessary that the luminance of the pixel corresponding to the dark region (which may be understood as a dimming region having a small luminance) is small, the luminance of the pixel corresponding to the bright region (which may be understood as a dimming region having a large luminance) is large, and the luminance of the pixel is positively correlated with the gray scale.
In practical applications, the preset brightness may be selected according to actual needs, and is not limited herein, as long as the display contrast can be improved and the display effect can be improved.
